READ DESCRIPTION – Apex Gunsmith Fit Universal Trigger – Red

This is the Apex Gunsmith Fit Universal Trigger in red — a raw aluminum trigger body for folks who want to build a custom trigger from the ground up. Unlike drop-in triggers that simply swap in, this component requires you to do the fitting yourself. It replaces the factory trigger in a wide range of pistols (Beretta, Colt, Glock, Sig, Smith & Wesson, Springfield, Ruger, Taurus) with a bright red Type 2 anodized solid aluminum shoe. The idea is simple: you get maximum control over trigger geometry, pull weight, and feel by machining the trigger to fit your gun and your preferences. If you’ve ever wanted a trigger that’s truly yours — not just off the shelf — this is the starting point.

Compatibility

• Beretta (select models — requires fitment)
• Colt (1911-style pistols)
• Glock (all double-stack and single-stack models)
• Sig Sauer (P-series and select models)
• Smith & Wesson (M&P and SD series)
• Springfield Armory (XD, XD-M, XD-S)
• Ruger (SR and American series)
• Taurus (G2, G3, and select models)

Note: This is a universal trigger body — actual fitment depends on your specific model and how much material you remove during installation. Not a drop-in.

Key Features

• Solid 6061 aluminum trigger body, Type 2 anodized in bright red
• Pre-tumbled for a smooth, consistent surface before anodizing
• Universal design — fits multiple platforms with hand fitting
• Allows you to reduce pre-travel, over-travel, and reset by machining the shoe
• Can reduce trigger pull weight significantly (depending on how you fit it)
• Directly replaces factory trigger shoe (no trigger bar included)

Install Difficulty: 5 out of 5

This is a gunsmith-fit part. Plan on extensive machining with a Dremel, files, sandpaper, and patience. You’ll need to fit the trigger to your specific frame, adjust the trigger bar interface, and likely modify the trigger safety if your gun uses one. Tools required: Dremel with cutting/grinding bits, needle files, 400-600 grit sandpaper, calipers, and a good work light. Not recommended for first-time builders. Watch install videos from experienced gunsmiths before starting.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this fit my Glock 19?

Yes, the universal trigger is designed to fit Glock frames, but you’ll need to machine the trigger shoe to match your specific frame width and trigger bar geometry. It’s not a drop-in — expect to remove material from the sides and the trigger bar slot.

Does this come with a trigger bar?

No, this is just the trigger shoe itself. You’ll reuse your factory trigger bar (or an aftermarket bar) and fit the shoe to it. The kit includes the trigger body and the pin.

How much pull weight reduction can I expect?

That depends entirely on how you fit it. By adjusting the trigger bar engagement surface and over-travel stop, you can reduce pull weight by 1-3 pounds or more. But the final result is up to your workmanship — there’s no guarantee without proper fitting.
